Kangana Ranaut Lets Us In On How Taking Care Of Herself Turned Around Her Life

There are loads of reasons we admire Kangana Ranaut – she’s an undeniably talented actor, she’s ruthlessly outspoken, she’s a feminist icon in a sexist industry and a sexist world, and, yes, she’s given us oodles of #loveyourself inspiration. We speak with the firebrand on how fitness aka taking care of herself took her from a place of no hope to a world where she’s the Queen.She’s all about the balance

“These days, I am practicing horseback riding and Pilates. I mix it up with lots of yoga so I can strike that balance between physical and mental fitness. I prefer to mix up my fitness routines rather than do just one thing.”

She is big on spirituality

“My life changed after I started practicing yoga and Kundalini yoga. My self-respect and psyche as a woman was severely injured when I discovered yoga and Vivekananda’s principles. I had lost clarity and interest in life. Slowly but surely, I became stronger mentally. I try to practice yoga for at least one hour a day, five times a week. Pranayama (controlled breathing) constitutes at least 10 minutes of this.”

She has a strong core

“I always end my days lightly. I will have soup for dinner, or something very light so that my stomach can stay fit and toned. Raw food doesn’t agree too much with me, but if it does for you, you must have as much of it as possible.”She knows what makes her happiness levels spike

“Exercising is vital for fitness but you will realise how happy it can make you as well. It’s not just about looking good but feeling great as well.”
